Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Transcript For Strip 763
Panel 1Back over near the monitors, Seamus (with Nicole and Murphy) speaks with Hernandez.
Hernandez: A virus?
Nicole: More like a spy-rus.
Seamus: Yes, an unexpectedly clever tactic on the part of our adversaries.
Panel 2
Hernandez and Seamus.
Seamus: When the ship sends out an S.O.S., the virus is activated, but remains dormant – and nigh-undetectable – for two hours.
Seamus: Then it causes the ship's comm system to broadcast our location and vector on specific frequencies which space-faring ships rarely use.
Panel 3
Hernandez and Seamus. Hernandez is alarmed, but Seamus calms him.
Hernandez: It's a trap deliberately set for us?!
Seamus: Or someone like us. Now aren't you glad you took my advice NOT to hack Argosy's systems from your ship?
Panel 4
Hernandez face-palms as he realizes the ramifications of the situation.
Hernandez: The Jalopy would've led the enemy right to our doorstep!
Seamus: Fortunately the EM-shield has protected us here …
Nicole: Like a giant condom!
